Gender Supremacy

Clarify if speaking in strength or position ?
If in strength, That one goes both ways.
If position, You should remember , things were done as types and shadows of what was to come. Even though God made man first, He also said, It is not good for man to be alone. Indicating a weakness in a man. Man is type and shadow of position, purpose and responsibility because that is what God is all about. We are not set in that position to RULE over women. We are put there to fulfill a purpose of Love, Protection and to give account for. The thing that you read about in the Bible is that the church is the bride, thereby indicating a woman's position NOT gender. So now one would have to ask, What is the roll that a wife plays or should I say, what is her purpose by design?
To accompany , to fellowship with, to serve, ( which goes both ways by the way ) and biblically there is no sex in heaven therefore omitting that position of the wife ( church ) in heaven. That has its own purpose here on earth.
THERE ARE NO GREATER IN POWER ONE OVER ANOTHER for where we are strong, they are weak and where they are strong , we are weak. That is why we feel complete when you find that right one. for we are sick and incomplete until we have found her and are made whole. She is our STRENGTH.

Well, I know of men (my husband being one) who can pick up 100 pound upper frames while building tractors. The do it repeatedly all day long. I couldn't do that. But, none of those men can squeeze a ten pound baby out their man parts either. All of the above shows strength. My husband screams like a 5-year old girl when he sees a spider - I do the same with rodents, roaches, and praying mantis' (the last one listed can spit and looks like it could suck out your soul). Neither of us are strong in that category. My husband is wonderful when dealing with small day to day problems - I crumble when I have too much going on at once. In a huge crisis situation I become super woman and get it taken care of. My husband becomes an anxiety consumed hot mess. We all come unglued at the loss of a loved one. Whether man or woman, you are going to break down and weep when you see your child for the first time.
Hmmm? Who is stronger. Like Teddy said, it all depends on what you are referring to.
We are all strong and resilient in my opinion.

Power is a lot like control. It is an illusion. The more you think you have - the less you really have.

Wow! Another part unlocked. I wasn't even looking at it from that perspective. But my eyes have been opened to a whole new view. Actually i was looking at the emotional aspect. Sometimes I can't really tell who is better stable. Or is it just a 50-50 thing?

@Teddy, thank you, but you are giving me too much credit.
@Jeff James, I think in the emotional aspect 50/50 is close to correct. In some aspects emotionally women are more powerful. Take having a baby for example: women bond with their child in utero. Sometimes with the first movement, sometimes earlier. Whenever it clicks that there is an actual human being forming in their body. It became real for me with the sound of my son's heart beat. I cried. It was a POWERFUL feeling. Fathers don't always get that with their child. Some do, but not often.
An example for men would be with the way they think. (Sorry guys, but you are pretty predictable in this regard). You guys have tunnel vision (usually). You see a problem and you fixate on it until said problem is resolved. You have a natural ability to hone in on one thing at a time while tuning out the rest. Hence the reason why wives tend to say to their husbands, "You never listen to me." It isn't that the husband never listens. The wife just tends to say things to her husband while his faculties are already occupied. It's a strength and a weakness for men. (Of course, this is just an opinion of mine based on personal experience. It isn't scientific fact.)
Women are a little different. We try to focus on everything at once. We feel ten ways at once about any given thing. My ability to feel several different ways at once helps my parenting sometimes. I have a 10 month old. He can't tell me with words what is bothering him, but he can communicate. My ability to absorb so much at once helps me to understand what is going on in that cute little head of his. Usually with the first guess i can solve his dilemma, however my husband would have to do process of elimination to find out what is wrong with him. But, women tend to blow up at people as well. Half the time we don't know how we feel because we feel so many different ways about things. Yes, men, we confuse ourselves as much as we confuse you. We tend to suffer from emotional overload on tiny things. So this is a weakness and a strength for us.

There is NOTHING in what you have said Natasha that isn't true. We are just like that and you all are just like that, but that is precisely why we are created for each other. How sad it would be to not be needed. As a matter of fact it is what is important to us and that is to be needed. HOW TRULY GOOD IT FEELS TO HEAR THE WORDS, I NEED YOU. if you want to ever see the real value of something, just REVERSE IT and it will bring a new light to the subject. Example: to hear your loved one say I DON"T NEED YOU. I have experienced it, I have heard it and it hurts.
What would you like to say?
